Since the Beginning of This Health Crisis European Best Destinations Since the beginning of this health crisis European Best Destinations www.europeanbestdestiantions.com has been giving to millions of travellers regular information about the situation with the publication of updated maps in real time of the situation linked to coronavirus "Covid-19" in the world (WHO). The situation has constantly changed: first we communicated with travellers about the destinations to avoid, then, at the peak of the crisis and following the WHO recommendations, we advised travellers to stay at home. Many European countries are opening their borders and flights and hotels are also reopening now. After weeks of confinement travellers want to travel to Europe but do not know where to travel and what safety measures are being taken in countries and regions. We have selected for them some of the destinations least affected by Covid-19 (up to 260 times fewer Covid-19 cases). These destinations have also implemented very specific protocols concerning hygiene in accommodations, restaurants, shops and measures such as the change of air conditioning filters between each traveller stay, availability of masks and social distancing. These destinations also benefit from proximity to hospitals and have a higher number of hospital beds per inhabitant than the majority of European countries. We recommend travellers to remain vigilant and do not forget the barrier gestures, social distancing, wearing the mask when possible and necessary. We also recommend them to avoid travelling if their health is poor. People over 70, overweighted or with respiratory problems should be particularly vigilant. It is also our responsibility to protect our most fragile loved ones and the people from our host countries. The European Safest Destinations will be promoted to millions of travellers, media and tourism professionals on the most visited website dedicated to tourism in Europe, also first ranked for travellers looking for “Coronavirus Safest Destinations”. https://www.europeanbestdestinations.com/best-of-europe/coronavirus-safest-holiday-destinations/ TBILISI - GEORGIA Tbilisi is the capital of Georgia a country that has been one of the least affected in the world by coronavirus. The country reacted very quickly with measures that kept the epidemic at an extremely low level. There are up to 260 times fewer cases of Covid-19 in Georgia than in the most affected European countries. If the country is reopening its borders on July 1st to travellers, it is also implementing a series of health measures to protect travellers but also its citizens for a safe and relaxing holiday. This health crisis has made us rethink our way to travel. More than ever we want to live new experiences.

Another year for the new government to deliver upon the expectations and hopes it had deliberately raised for the inhabitants of Georgia and the international community, another year to show that it had the genuine and altruistic intention of breaking with the past, which too often proved to be corrupt, cynical, and careless. Another year to put an end to the same plays, merely with different sets and actors, and to attempt the establishment of a realm within which a more just, open, and livable society for all could be created. In December 2004, the Human Rights Information and Documentation Center (HRIDC) published its first report on the human rights situation in Georgia after the ‘Rose Revolution’.1 The report – ‘One Step Forward, Two Steps Back’ dealt with the tendencies in the field of human rights after the hope-giving change of power. Together with positive developments, like the creation of the Patrol Police, the peaceful transition of authority in the Adjara region, anti corruptive measures, and reforms carried out in different governmental structures, the report described the existing anti-democratic tendencies and massive human rights violations caused by neglect of the rule of law and general lack of respect for ‘the human’ on the side of the new government.

  • Georgian Hospitality After the Rose Revolution (2003-2012)
    From Tradition to Civility: Georgian Hospitality after the Rose Revolution (2003-2012) Costanza Curro UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1 2 Declaration I, Costanza Curro, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. -------------------- -------------------- Date Signature 3 4 Abstract This thesis explores the relation between hospitality and civil values. I focus on articulations and performances of hospitality in Georgia after the Rose Revolution (2003-2012). Drawing upon data collected through participant observation and follow-up interviews, the thesis analyses hospitality practices which rest on the blurred boundaries between the public and the private. My argument challenges the negative view of unofficial practices grounded in local contexts as being detrimental to democratisation. I highlight the ambivalence of hospitality practices and maintain that their embeddedness in local civic traditions of solidarity and reciprocity is a potential source of democratic values vis-à-vis the social fragmentation generated by the modernisation project implemented by the post-revolutionary political leadership. On the one hand, political elites stereotyped hospitality as a national specific, used to promote the country to outsiders. On the other hand, everyday hospitality was regarded as a backward practice associated with grey zones of informality which hindered the country’s modernisation. Focusing on the ambivalence emerging from people’s articulations and performances, I investigate the tension between hospitality traditions and modernisation narratives across three dimensions: increasing social inequalities predicated upon images of otherness, the negotiation of ascribed identities (notably gender and generational) amid individual and collective change, and the transformation of urban public space.
